FFA protects motor neurons and improves functional recovery after SCI. (A) Three-dimensional imaging of the L1-L6 lumbar cord, including the motor neuron pool. The motor neuron pool was specifically labeled with cholera toxin β (CTβ)-Alexa fluor 647 via retrograde tracing from the sciatic nerve. Scale bar = 500 μm. (B) High-magnification images of motor neurons in the area marked by the green box in (A). Scale bar = 150 μm. (C) Quantitative analysis of the number of motor neurons. (D) Functional recovery was assessed according to the BMS open-field test. The error bars represent the SD. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, and ***p<0.001 by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc analysis.
